The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How do I Count Unique Values in a Column in Excel  when FIlters are Enabled or use it to gather Stats?

Asked by cyphas in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, MySQL Server, SQL Query Syntax

Tags: , , ,

I have a spread sheet which monitors works on several sites. Issues are normally passed to me for each site once. They are split into Issue types eg, building, Misc, A/C etc. Each Issue can be completed independent of the other issues for a particular site.

Columns of concerns are
C: = Site
F: =Issues
G: =Issue Type
O: Date Completed
P: Passed to Completed Team

I need to gather stats on a weekly and a monthly basis.  As follows:
No. of Sites Received:
No. of Sites in Backlog:
No. of Sites Completed:

Since I have over 500 sites, it is rather difficult to count the number of sites completed. The easiest way I get around it is to filter on Date completed column. Make a not of sites completed within a period -using custom filter on column O. Next I take the filter off O and look for blanks on column again. To eliminate them from the list I made.

I have the same difficulty recording sites received. If a site has been received with issues already and ALL Issues are not completed before another new issue is received then, that issue is not classed in the stats as received for the week/month.

To gather the number of sites is the backlog it is much easier but I have to do a manual count after I have enabled filter on column O (blanks)

Is there a way to see the number of unique site when filters are enabled?

At present, since several issues can be completed within a period and these issues can be related to a one site my count is incorrect. The count shows the number of issues rather than site.

Secondly, is there a better way of gathering stats using filters or not in excel for my issues tracker?
